Chapter 38 Taoyuan Inn
The size of Zifu County and County City is ten times larger than that of Hanshan City. The pavilions and towers are rolling and rolling. Even though Ye Tong has lived on Earth for a hundred years and has seen countless tall buildings, he is still shocked by the city in front of him. The vast streets are full of traffic and the pavilions and shops on both sides are lined up.
"Little Master." Yaonu hunched over and leaned on a dragon-headed crutch. After the memories in his eyes faded away, he called softly.
Ye Tong asked with a side face: "What?"
Yaonu said: "The county town has a large area. In addition to the most prosperous central area, it is divided into four jurisdictions: southeast, west and north. Laonu doesn't know where the upcoming auction will be held, so where do you think we should stay?"
Ye Tong asked: "Where will you choose to live in when you come to the county town?"
Hearing Ye Tong's words, Yaonu said without hesitation: "Taoyuan Inn!"
Ye Tong said, "Then let's stay in Taoyuan Inn temporarily! If nothing unexpected happens, we won't stay in the county town for a long time."
Taoyuan Inn is located in the northeast of Nancheng. Unlike the prosperous area that Ye Tong imagines, Taoyuan Inn is more like a large area of Taoyuan. On the peach trees everywhere, beautiful flowers bloom in competition. Rockery, exquisite carvings, towers, pavilions, seem to be scattered everywhere.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that the pavilions are intertwined and arranged in an orderly manner. A clear river runs through the entire Taoyuan Inn and five magnificent bridges have become an important transportation hub.
“It’s nice here.”
Ye Tong is good at observing the terrain. Shortly after stepping into Taoyuan Inn, he found that this place can be regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land, especially a branch of spiritual vein. The end point of condensation is this Taoyuan Inn.
Yaonu nodded and agreed: "There are 109 pavilions here. Except for the main building that is not rented out, all other pavilions are for rent. However, the daily rent is high and ordinary people cannot afford it."
Ye Tong asked: "How many?"
Yaonu said: "The Renzi Pavilion has a daily rent of 200 taels of blue silver; the Dizi Pavilion has a daily rent of 500 taels of blue silver; the Tianzi Pavilion has a daily rent of 1,000 taels of blue silver. The old slave has not entered the county town for more than ten years, and I wonder if the price has changed now."
So expensive?
Ye Tong showed a look of surprise. You should know that one hundred taels of blue silver is enough for a family of five in Hanshan City to live for a year, and one thousand taels can make them live for ten years. Here, one thousand taels of blue silver can only live in Tianzi Pavilion for one day, and the price is simply outrageous!
The medicine slave smiled bitterly.
He came here before, and he followed his old master Huo Lanqiu. What kind of person is the old master? There is no difference in money in his eyes, and he never lacks silver. As for whether it is expensive or not, it naturally doesn't matter.
But this little master... the medicine slave observes the subtle and has a clear mind, so he naturally knows what money means to the little master, so he can buy his life!
Soon, the two of them came to a quaint loft. Without paying attention to the four burly men on both sides of the door, they entered the loft.
"Welcome to the two distinguished guests. I am Duolan, the inn attendant. Do you want to rent a living or come to the inn to eat?" In the hall, among the dozen beautiful girls with uniform clothing, a tall girl walked out. Her smile was very friendly, giving people a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.
"Rent!" Yaonu said.
Duolan bowed slightly and chuckled, "Then, please ask the two distinguished guests to go to the counter to register, pay the rent and collect the keys of the pavilion."
Yaonu said, "I will go with you! Master, how long do we have to live here?"
Ye Tong thought for a while and said, "Let's rent for half a month first!"
"Okay!" Yaonu nodded slightly. Calculate the time, and they would stay here for at most half a month.
Ye Tong stood in the hall, his eyes swept over several guests entering and leaving, and finally fell on the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Although the calligraphy and paintings on both sides were good, they still couldn't get Ye Tong's eyes. The landscape painting in front of him was considered a good work. In the painting, the green mountains, green waters, peach blossom forests, naughty boys drove away little beasts, the old man sat upright by the river, fishing, and a few vivid birds, either standing on the branches or flying on the wings. Life can be seen everywhere in this painting.
"The signature, Lan Tianyu?"
Ye Tong felt a little regretful in his heart. Painting is a good painting, but it is a pity that it lacks a momentum. The green mountains are high, majestic and majestic, and the green water flows continuously. Peach blossoms bloom. Although they are beautiful, there is no trace of wind blowing; naughty children, old men, birds... The atmosphere of farm life is not set off by the thatched houses, and it is a bit of a meaning.
Not far from Ye Tong, the waiter closest to Ye Tong, was a playful girl who looked at Ye Tong and the Medicine Nu, because she thought the combination of one old and one young was quite interesting. However, she thought it was the grandfather and grandson who came, but she didn't expect that the old man actually called himself a slave, and the young man was the little master.
"Distinguished guest, have you ever known painting?" Lan Xiaozhu quietly came to Ye Tong and asked with a smile.
Ye Tong glanced at her and said calmly: "I understand a little."
Lan Xiaozhu raised her lips and looked at the landscape painting on the wall with a little pride. She asked, "What do you think of this painting? Is it the best painting you have ever seen?"
"Uh..." Ye Tong showed a strange look.
Who gave this girl the confidence? How dare she ask such shameless questions?
Best painting?
What international jokes are you making?
During the century when Ye Tong lived in seclusion on Earth, he once collected a large number of calligraphy and calligraphy and paintings. Among them, all of which can be seen by his master are works by everyone. Although this landscape painting is good, it can only be considered as a barely passing, and it is still far from the best!
Ye Tong was too lazy to pay attention to this girl anymore, and turned around and walked outside.
"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet!"
Lan Xiaozhu was stunned and hurriedly chased outside when she woke up. However, just as her figure chased to the door, she suddenly paused and saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
"Sister Xiaoshui, why are you here? Don't you need to take care of the lady?" Lan Xiaozhu asked.
Lan Xiaoshui said: "A friend came from afar. The lady was accompanying her friend to the garden and told me to come and ask you to go back, prepare fruit and pastries, and dinner in the evening."
"I……"
Lan Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment, then looked away, glared at Ye Tong's back fiercely, and then said, "Okay, let's go back quickly!"
Lan Xiaoshui followed Lan Xiaozhu's gaze and said curiously: "Do you know the boy who just got out?"
"I don't know you!" Lan Xiaozhu said with a lip voice: "He is arrogant and rude."
"Are you angry? This is what you asked for." Lan Xiaoshui laughed in silence and said, "Don't forget your current identity. You feel bored in staying in the building and insist on running out to play. As an envoy, do you still care about the expressions others give you?"
Lan Xiaozhu said, "No, when I saw him watching the lady's paintings, I wanted to hear him praise her, so I came over to ask him about his impressions. As a result, he admitted that he knew a little about calligraphy and painting, but was unwilling to answer my questions. Isn't the lady's hand-written painting worthy of his praise?"
"Oh?" Lan Xiaoshui showed a look of surprise, looked at Ye Tong, who was farther away, and then pulled Lan Xiaozhu out of the attic and walked in another direction.
Bridge over the river.
Two slim girls walked together.
One of the heroic and charming girls glanced across the shimmering river and sighed: "Just count, we haven't seen each other for three years, right? And your temperament is even more gentle and quiet."
The girl wearing a veil and a bun in her hair showed a gentle and elegant look in her every move. The soft and soft voice brought people gentle and enjoyment: "My sister is free and easy, respects her as a princess, but she can put aside her bond and linger alone among famous mountains and rivers, wandering in the alleys of the city and the people. Her experience in the world makes her envious."
Mu Qianlan said, "If you envy me, why not go out for a walk? Your talent and qualifications are not inferior to me at all. If you can let go of that obsession, your future achievements will be limitless. Maybe, the future safety of my Skynet Empire needs you to protect."
Lan Tianyu shook his head and said, "I don't need me. With my sister here, the Skynet Empire will naturally be peaceful and stable for a hundred years. Huh? Why is my sister distracted again?"
Mu Qianlan was indeed distracted. The beautiful face that felt abominable appeared in her mind. She remembered the scene of being trapped in the Jinluan Mountains for a whole day before she could barely break the formation and escape in a panic.
Mu Qianlan gritted his teeth and said, "I remembered a slut."
Lan Tianyu's bright eyes showed a hint of surprise and asked curiously: "Sister Qianlan has a lover? It can make you feel unstable. Tianyu wants to know which young talent is from?"
"Sweetheart?"
Mu Qianlan said with a giggle: "Sister Tianyu was joking. That guy is only sixteen or seventeen years old. I am several years older than him. How could it be... In short, that guy is very evil, he is someone I can't see through."
Lan Tianyu said in surprise: "Young man who can't even see through you? I want to meet him."
Mu Qianlan laughed in silence and said, "With your personality, if you see him, you will definitely be eaten up and you will not even have any bones left. You should know the spirit fox in the wilderness? You have countless wisdom and treacherous things. The feeling that guy gives me is even more sinister than the spirit fox."
"Puff..." Lan Tianyu covered his mouth and chuckled: "Sister Qianlan must have been defeated by him, otherwise he would not have said this. Tianyu would have become even more curious about him."
Mu Qianlan turned his head awkwardly and said, "I won't talk about him anymore. I'm here to find you this time. There is something I need your help."
"What's the matter?" Lan Tianyu asked.
Mu Qianlan said: "My uncle established a great achievement and won a quota for the Skynet Empire to set up a teleportation array. My father asked me to hold a banquet and reward at the Prince's Mansion on his behalf. I would like to ask you to paint a painting for me as a gift to the uncle."
Lan Tianyu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem, you can get it in three days."
"Thank you!" Mu Qianlan's eyes showed joy. You know, the paintings of Lan Tianyu in the Empire are hard to find.
